* Note:
The unaudited statements of income for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2004 were restated to correct the presentation of equity in
earnings of York Insurance Services Group, Inc. The restatement presents
the equity in earnings of York after income taxes on the statement of income
instead of as a component of revenue as originally reported. The correction had
no effect on net income or earnings per share.

Bexil Corporation is a holding company.Our primary holding is a 50% interest in
privately held York Insurance Services Group, Inc. ("York").We account for our interest in York
using the equity method, and therefore our
financial results are not consolidated with York's.
